Maybe a bit controversial but , this is how things can look to other people;
when you had this bike on ebay you said it would break your heart to sell it
this really infers that you were the owner and seller? never mentioned selling for a mate (buts thats ok as its ebay and might put people off)
then it was bid to £15,900 and not make its reserve
you then advertise to club members at £16,000
& you confirm that you dont actually own it , and havent done so for years, but imported it (so thats ok as its being honest on the forum)
during the course of bidding on ebay there were a few retractions, and a bit of jiggery pokery or idiots with the buttons.
So my question is , when on ebay and you hosted the sale , did or could the actual owner have shill bid it to within £100 of the reserve , not managing to push the other bidders over the reserve ? obviously not letting you know this
Now your answer is obviously going to be no, but you have to understand people on here look at ebay and whats on sale here
TBH honest offering it to club members at a higher price than market value is pretty poor anyway in my book, market value in this case is £15,900?, funny how the owner / seller or combination couldn't make a deal with the highest bidder for the sake of £100 on a 16 grand deal, but maybe unknown to the seller highest bidder owned it already( ?)
Now I say this as I have been conned by shill bidding in the past on a kawasaki four by lets say somebody a lot of people know, and really cant abide the scum who descend to that level .
Anyway I'm sure you can vouch for the above just me being paranoid and the £15900 was a genuine bid but it was impossible to agree on the last £100 .
yes you can have too many bikes
